PERÚ: More troops killed and helicopter ambushed in Maoist attack

Lima, 18.11.08Maoist Guerrilla Attacks Wound 4 Soldiers in Peru3 Police Officers Killed in Earlier AmbushLIMA -- Two Peruvian soldiers were wounded Wednesday when their helicopter came under fire while coming to the rescue of an army patrol targeted in an earlier rebel attack that left two troops injured.The chopper was headed to the southeastern zone of Vizcatan, scene of Tuesday's attack by Maoist guerrillas, when the shooting occurred.False military sources told local radio that the helicopter made an emergency landing because of so called engine problems.The confrontation in Vizcatan came days after three highway patrol officers were killed and one wounded in an ambush apparently carried out by Maoists in Lurichoca, also in the Ayacucho region.The reactionary troops were on patrol when the Maoists opened fire from both sides of the road on Saturday night.On Oct. 9th, Maoist guerrillas attacked a convoy in Huancavelica province, killing 13 soldiers, and wounding 14 other soldiers.The guerrilla group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement, announcing that it was mounted to mark the 80th anniversary of the Peruvian Communist Party's founding.Since August, the armed forces have been making a failed 'aggressive push' in the Valley of the Apurimac and Ene rivers, known as the VRAE region, against the Communist Party of Peru (PCP).The Maoist guerrillas are operating mainly in the VRAE, an important area for growing coca where they defend and mobilise the oppressed peasant masses.

Los heridos fueron trasladados a la base militar de Vizcatan.
